      abstract = {This article explores the impact of key behavioral finance biases on investor decision-making when choosing among fixed income securities, equities, and foreign currency investments, with a focus on the psychological mechanisms influencing these choices. Specifically, it examines how loss aversion drives an exaggerated preference for fixed income products, how anchoring bias shapes decisions to dollarize portfolios, and how social media and financial influencers contribute to shifts in investor profiles from conservative savers to risk-taking participants in stocks and cryptocurrencies. The analysis draws on seminal and recent academic literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of how cognitive and social biases affect portfolio allocation, potentially leading to suboptimal investment outcomes. Recognizing these biases is essential for improving financial literacy and promoting more informed and rational investment strategies.},
